thanks that helped

if anyone has any pics of an a8n-32 with single slot cards & a sound card in there, i'd really like to see a close up of the clearance/card placement.

Here's a shot of my current set up with a pair of 6600GT's.

I should be getting my 7800GTX's tomorrow. I'll post another pic with those bad boys in the box tomorrow.

OMFG that is über sexy! My pants feel wet now...I had better go.

How much did the 7800GTX's set you back? What monitor(s) do you have? The link to the Studio Rig in your sig doesn't work for me...

That should be one of your least concerns. I have it, and it works.

No worries. Post pics tonight, maybe?!

My photo gallery is here! Check it out!

I love this MB, best setup I have ever had! Stable at overclock, incredibly fast and quiet considering I have so many fans in there.

so the sound card between the two 7800s (single slot cards) does NOT touch at all? is it even all that close to being touching? how usable is the bottom slot? did you try the card in there at all?

Nope never tried it. I just figured that if I did try, whatever card I could fit in there would block the smoother air-flow to the card directly above it.

Btw nice pics amking. Your cabling could stand a little work, though.

In between the PCI-E cards, I have an Omni Vision HDTV card. Below the second PCI-E slot, I have my X-FI platnium card. Haven't had any problems thus far.

 

[amking]

have a picture ritz? no heat issues with the nearby pci-e card?

 

[Ritz S14]

Ask and Ye shall recieve.

Nice pics

I'm pickign up a Zalman CNPS7000B-AlCu HS today. So, now that I think about it, the sound card will move to the upper PCI slot, and my tuner card will move below the second PCIE card. The tuner card is about half the size of the sound card!

To answer your question. No I haven't had any issues with it. But, I'm also running the first generation bios for the time being. Waiting on an official release.

Yeah, the AC is really a great cooler; quiet, cheap, and maybe a bit underrated.

 

[amking]

i just keep going back and forth on this board and whether or not i'm going to buy it...because i dont like the pci + pcie slot arrangement and i am waiting for them to work out any bios issues.

i almost wish they'd make a a8n32-PREMIUM that has wifi...and maybe a different slot arrangement. :\

Hey all,
Has anyone tried watercooling the gpus on the asus a8n32 in sli? If so can you still use the other slot for the sound card etc? I am considering this board but i would relly like to water cool my 7800gtxs in sli...
DAve
